Thank you, Theo. Thanks for the tip as well. Good to know.

I actually thought it was a Tachinid at first glance. I made a few photos then i realized that it doesn't appear to be a Tachinid. I thought about Rhinophoridae and ended up at Tricogena. Very interesting fly. I don't see Rhinophoridae very often or i don't recognize them very well. One thing that bothered me is the hairy face. The orange of the antennae isn't always visible. The red bristly legs still makes me think of a Tachinid. Good thing i didn't try to key it as a Tachinid :)
